Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, characterized as major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), finding that the Veteran's MDD and GAD are related to his active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record demonstrates that the Veteran's psychiatric symptoms began during service and his current psychiatric symptoms are a continuation of his MDD diagnosis in service, leading to the conclusion that service connection is warranted.
